Through adoption, Americans can forever change not only a child's life but also their own.

Some of us live a Christian life as if we're always under the stern, watchful eye of our Father and he is very impossible to please... No, God delights even in our heartfelt attempts at obedience.

Everything that's really worthwhile in life came to us free — our minds, our souls, our bodies, our hopes, our dreams, our ambitions, our intelligence, our love of family and children and friends and country.

Worldly love (licentiousness) seeks to endorse or embrace everything. It begins from the false dichotomy that we either accept without question people's beliefs and behavior (unless it is obviously destructive to someone else) or we are unloving. As a result, we cannot address underlying sin or rebellion. Thus, love is set as opposite to judgment.

My little old dog a heart-beat at my feet

No painter's brush, nor poet's pen In justice to her fame Has ever reached half high enough To write a mother's name.

Grandmas don't just say "that's nice" — they reel back and roll their eyes and throw up their hands and smile. You get your money's worth out of grandmas.

A mother's heart is a patchwork of love.

But if you love him you'll forgive himEven though he's hard to understand.And if you love him, oh be proud of him'Cause after all he's just a man.

To love, cherish, and to obey.

Trip over love, you can get up. Fall in love and you fall forever.

Soul-mates are people who bring out the best in you. They are not perfect but are always perfect for you.
